The spelling of the word "more legitimatized" is complicated due to the use of multiple suffixes. The root word is "legitimate", which is pronounced /ləˈdʒɪtəmət/. When adding the suffix "-ize", it becomes "legitimatize", pronounced /ləˈdʒɪtəmətaɪz/. Then, another suffix "-ed" is added, making it "legitimatized", pronounced /ləˈdʒɪtəmaɪz̩d/. Finally, the word is further modified with the prefix "more", creating "more legitimatized", with a pronunciation of /mɔːr ləˈdʒɪtəmaɪz̩d/.
The word "legitimatized" is derived from the noun "legitimacy", which comes from the Latin word "legitimatus", the past participle of "legitimare". In Latin, "legitimare" means to make lawful or legitimate.
The original Latin term "legitimatus" passed into Middle French as "legitimatiser", and from there, it entered the English language as "legitimatize" in the mid-16th century. The prefix "more" has been added to indicate a higher degree or increased level of legitimacy. Therefore, "more legitimatized" means further legitimized or granted a greater level of legitimacy.
